Job Description

Build analytics people can trust. Help define what analytics looks like in an AI-first world.

Most analytics platforms ask organisations to trade control for insight.

For almost 20 years, Matomo has shown there is another way: powerful, transparent and trustworthy analytics that respects privacy, gives organisations ownership of their data, and helps people understand what's happening, make better decisions, and improve their work.

More than one million websites use Matomo. That means you'll work on software that is widely used, technically demanding, and close enough to customers that your work has a visible impact. It's a rare opportunity for engineers: solving meaningful, complex product problems while seeing the difference your work makes for customers.

We are independent, profitable, and open source. We are not trying to become a smaller copy of Big Tech analytics platforms. We are building a different kind of analytics company: one where privacy, transparency, customer control, and product quality are part of the core product, not marketing claims.

This role focuses on Matomo Core, the foundation of our product and the platform our open-source users, cloud customers, and wider plugin ecosystem depend on.

If you want unusually high ownership, visible impact, hard product & platform problems, and the opportunity to strengthen a widely used open-source platform, Matomo is worth a serious look.

Why this role matters

Matomo Core is the foundation of our open-source product, cloud platform, plugins, integrations and customer-facing features.

It has evolved over many years and operates across a wide range of environments, use cases and data volumes. Every improvement to Core benefits customers, open-source users, plugin developers and engineering teams across the Matomo ecosystem.

We are bringing responsibility for Core into a newly formed European team. You'll help shape how this team works, where it focuses and how it creates the greatest impact across Matomo.

As a Product Engineer, you’ll help decide where Core can create the greatest impact. That could mean solving a difficult customer problem, strengthening an existing capability, creating a new platform capability, or simplifying the Core platform to make it easier to evolve.

You’ll work on a mature and technically complex product. The challenge is not simply to preserve what exists. It is to understand why it exists, recognise where it is holding customers or engineers back, and evolve it without disrupting the open-source users, customers, integrations and plugins that already depend on it.

Our process is designed to understand how you think, build, communicate, and use AI in realistic product engineering work.

The process usually includes: Application → Screening → Online aptitude test → People & Culture interview → Technical skills interview → Final technical interview.

We do not expect unpaid multi-day projects. We want to understand how you approach ambiguous problems, make trade-offs, use AI, and ship useful product improvements.
